Thus for all possibility I have ticket to Mars. The two looks the same at the first sight. But A is a pure belief with no logical ground. B has a logical ground so it is a logical conclusion. I ask you if you still consider them as the same thing. I wonder if it would be more clear, but I'm asking you if you consider to be the same: having logical reason, and not having logical reason, for some idea. _____ Are you still kidding me? anwear is, A is a belief. B is belief + logical thinking. Your definition of "same" is those two procedure are same, which is your own narrow definition. and you say conflict to each other. My definition of "same" is my belief (what I believe) and logical conclusion (what I colcluded) is same (I can walk on Mars) and does not conflict. For your understanding, my belief and logic can conflict also. but not always as you think. Do you understand? I gave up to determine which definition is closer to usage in daily life. |
